Solveig, what a generous lady you are! Your crocheted blanket (or afghan as we call them over here in the States) is lovely. Now, your clear instructions will give lots of other folks to create their own colorways and make a blanket, or a cushion cover, or a tote bag, or...maybe they will surprise with something totally different.

This is a beautiful cosy design ! Thank you for sharing your photos:))) in my country Cyprus crocheting was an essential skill for ladies but with the chance of way of life was dying . I think now is coming back with modernised and more colorful and I'm glad for that :)

Thanks for this... I have nearly finished all the circles I need and am about to start with the background colour. Do you remember how many balls of wool you needed of the white? I'll need to go and buy that (mine will be black, and I want to make sure I get enough of the same dye lot)

Thank you very much for this lovely and inspiring design...! I just learned that I am to be blessed with TWO grandchildren next Spring, and I am thinking that this design would be lovely for both baby afghans that I wish to make!

I'm attempting my first granny blanket. I have a dozen or so circles made with the 4th round completed, so lots of squares. Can you explain how to join the squares, if I didn't use the "join as you go'' method? And many thanks for the super clear instructions, I tried a few different patterns and this one worked the best for me as a beginner.

If you don't use the join-as-you-go method you could sew the squares together or join with crochet. I would recommend you to make a google search for "joining squares" - you'll find many photos and tutorials I'm sure.

Solveig - thanks so much for this pattern. I've followed this pattern every step of the way, but think that I must be doing something wrong when joining the corners in the final round. Corners aren't consistent and beautifully lacy looking like yours...when joining corners, I do two tr's, then one chain, and one additional chain in each joining corner, then the last two tr's. Am I reading the pattern correctly? Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is really a special blanket and has been an enjoyable (and quite time consuming) project!!

I think that this is the most beautiful blanket, I have ever seen :-) Ufortunately, I am no good at crocheting, so I was searching for somewhere to buy it. You do not sell any of your items, do you? Or know somewhere where I could buy this? Thank you very much :-)

Solveig, I am nearly through with my "scrap yarn" afghan, which looks rather like yours; I had a bunch of 80/20 cotton and wool yarn in a very, very faint yellow I'm using as my background. It's the first crochet project I've attempted since I had a major stroke in December 2014. I should have died, in fact. I was thrilled to realize I could still crochet when a friend suggested this afghan as our crochet-along project--my first crochet project since the stroke. I'm using the yarn friends sent me to replace what I lost in a house fire three weeks before the stroke. Yes, I've had that kind of life. :) The afghan is not perfect, but it's darn near, and certainly good enough for me. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern.

Solveig, this is such a lovely blanket. I'm almost done with the one I'm making; its background is a very, very faint yellow, really a cream.

It's the first crochet project I've begun since I had a major stroke in December 2014; I wasn't supposed to live, but went on to both knit and crochet as well as spin. I have vertigo, and my right side is still weaker, but my work is nearly as good as yours. :) I am limping along.

Thank you so much for sharing your blanket. I wanted you to know what uses the pattern is being put to.

I try to translate my new posts to English. But if you use Google to translate you should know that Google translate does not read my kind of Norwegian... You could get a funny result...Just to let you know:)
